Please avoid this cowboy garage, I want to give them minus score.
They changed a turbo charger with reasonable price(￡800) but that’s it.
At the end, I spent double money on same job with other garage to repair what JMW did on my turbo.
It takes 2 weeks to repair turbo and added ￡54 more on labor charge.
When I came to pick up my car, they took me to a garage where polish mechanics work but JMW could not properly communicated with the polish guys due to language differences.
I noticed that inside of my car was covered with plenty of dirty oil so my hands and cloth were ruined.
1 week after I collected car, I noticed that some funny and electronical sound from the new turbo.
I took the car to JMW, two guys diagnosed and said that water pump needed to be change, Quote ￡350.
After that I have been to several garages, they all said the actuator on the replaced turbo was faulty one and this made the electronical sound.
I contacted JMW, they refused to take care of it, JMW said turbo was took it up with a manufacture and I should deal with the manufacture directly. This is totally rubbish.
In common sense, if a changed turbo has a problem within a year, a garage takes responsibility as a warranty.
I contacted the manufacture and I found out that I was not allowed to have a replacement because I had no invoice and I was not a direct buyer. Waste money and time.
If you really want to save money and fix your car properly, please stay away from JMW, you would spend double money on same job.
Bad customer service, response and attitude, they have no honor in the car repair industries. JMW only wants your money, that’s it!!
It was not totally happy experience with JMW!!!!

Great service. Picked car up within two days of confirming quote. Dropped off and then picked up again the following day to undertake the required work to pass MOT. Reasonable rates, great communication and overall very happy with service provided. Would both recommend and use again.

Paul contacted me within minutes of filling in the online request and managed to fit my car in for a service and MOT, together with some additional maintenance, the following day. He discussed the options for resolving a rather irritating issue with my door lock and gave really good advice. I would absolutely recommend Barnside Motors.

Offered to check fault for free and offer advise. They found the problem within minutes and advised a third party service who can help fix it. Great service, very friendly, convenient and flexible. Highly recommend this garage.

Very easy to use WhoCanFixMy Car, Barnside Motors came in with cheapest quote and did the work straight away and as quoted. An honest and trustworthy garage with high quality of work. Thankyou guys will see you again soon

I was happy with the price quoted for the genuine break pads and discs changed for my Mercedes C class. Staff was friendly. They gave me the right estimate of the time it would take to change the break and disc. Job seems to be done nicely. There is a 1year warranty also on the parts fixed which is helpful. Just wanted to say that I would have preferred an invoice which mentions that genuine parts have been used; not just invoice of the price and job done( it just gives me a piece of mind ).
Thanks again. Will use it in future.

Mansi, Mercedes C-Class

Booked in for a 9:30am service. They started the service at 3pm.
Initial cost may seem cheap but they are very expensive once they diagnose a fault. They also misdiagnose faults.

Great bunch of people that all seem to know their stuff. The price was right and my Air-Con now blows cold again :) What more could I ask for

Dave, Mazda 6

Great staff, all friendly and willing to explain what was going on with my car and the service, gave accurate time lines and stayed within estimated price. I will go here for all future services.

Brian, Nissan X-Trail

Pros:
-Car was collected and delivered within the quote price
-Did not charge extra to re-run Mot after a minor fault (washer fluid) was fixed
Cons:
-Garage was unable to collect car on planned day of booking as booking did not get put into diary
-Was quoted for both service and mot, but only mot was carried out. However was only charged for mot (plus washer fluid)

Prompt reply with quote. Job completed same day with actual price being that which was quoted, no hidden extras. Explained what was done and showed worn parts. Definitely recommend.

paul, Citroen Xsara

Extremely happy with the work that was done, would even know I even had a dent there before! I had contacted so many garages and companies and all were telling me it would cost hundreds to repair, but Sanjay did it at affordable price. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

Heather, Vauxhall Corsa

FANTASTIC service! Sanjay the mechanic was so helpful and obliging, fitting my car repairs in at the last minute. His advice was honest (car needed pads and discs) and his repairs reliable. I would definitely recommend to anyone in need of a good mechanic and will certainly be using SMT cars for all future car repairs!

Kimberley, Hyundai Ix20

I am a very happy customer. Sanjay immediately knew what was actually wrong with the car. Communication was great, My fly wheel had a groove in it (Which was not included in the quote). The car gave Sanjay some trouble and he spent a lot of time on the car which he definitely did not include in the quote - or in the bill. He is a very thorough mechanic, diagnosing the problems and letting you know. Had to add the fly wheel repair and the oil to the original quote - But didn't add the extra labour. Very happy

Great mechanic very helpful. I would recommend this mechanic and I will get him to work on any of my future car problems.

Aaron, Vauxhall Astra

What a thoroughly pleasant, professional and courteous chap. Explained the nagging issues clearly. Fixed everything, topped up the engine oil. James is car/motoring enthusiast which great. Cannot recommend him highly enough. I will definitely be doing all work through to James at JTH Performance. Thanks again...

James was polite and welcoming when he arrive. He diagnosed the problem with my van quickly, and showed me exactly what was wrong. He was honest and not over priced. Would definitely recommend.

Price includes MOT fail and fix. Highly recommend this guy - very knowledgeable, gives straightforward advice and efficient service - thanks Fabio - see you in the New Year to service and the other car.
